Oh Boy...

Yesterday DID in fact suck. I was a breaker so things went alright for me when I first got there, I just worked on some $ spot pulls. When I was doing that, some kid showed me a whole bunch of open packages of cards. I showed AP and they said someone had to have stole them that day because they checked that area before we opened, and it was fine.

Well, giving breaks was going fine until I was told do abandoned. Then the green side picked up and Karen yelled at me. She said, "You need to jump on a lane, we are backed up. If we are backed up, you need to jump on instead of doing abandoned. Take over for (SFTM)." Ok, a simple Could you take over for (SFTM) would've done the trick. There's no need to be a fucking bitch about it.

And then, my printer got fucked up on another lane so I called her. She came down, and got the check out of the drawer, and ran it through. Then she bitched me out because of that because I was *supposed* to know that. Yeah, I haven't cashiered for a while, so I'm not familiar with what fucks up the machines. But she chewed me out IN FRONT OF the guest anyway.

Then she comes back and tells me to go clean the bathroom after I'm done with that break in a bitchy tone. So when I finally get done with the break I go into the bathroom, and press the button. I didn't clean, but I'm not going to after what happened in November. (See 'I had a shitty day...literally') So she comes back and asks me if I did it, and I told her yes. I'm sorry that's not my job. I refuse to clean up ant excrement because a fucking idiot (typical Target guest) can't piss in the fucking toilet or read when a toilet is out of order.

Oh but that's not all. On a different lane, this guy ran his card through, and after he was done paying and shit, he told me he forgot to give me his coupons. I told him I could give him cash back for those, but then he had a rewards card too, so I decided to call a head cashier to 'Fix it Fast.' Karen comes over and tells me I need to ask the guest for coupons every single time before I hit total, and of course this was my fault again, not the guests. She told me they were re-training the cashiers because of this. Um, maybe you need to change the fucking system so that when someone puts their card in, we can still do things before it processes itself. God I fucking hate Karen! She's such a fucking bitch! And if she's reading this, FUCK YOU!

Then I was on a lane giving a break, and Karen told me to jump on another lane when that person came back. I was on that fucking lane for 30 minutes because people just kept coming and coming. All this with my lane's light OFF. And I'm a breaker! I need to give people their breaks, not help with back-ups. But Karen never came back to get me off the lane so I could go give breaks. While I was on this same register, this woman said Electronics was holding a game for her. So I call Electronics on their phone...no answer. So I page them on the walkie...no answer. So I call the operator, and tell her to page them...no answer. I helped a few people, and paged them again...no answer. I helped another person, paged them again...no answer. So I finally just left my fucking lane walked across the damn store to get the fucking game. There was shitloads of people standing around the Electronics boat, and they all assumed that I was there. I got asked several different questions, to which I just said, "I don't know, I don't work over here!" I don't care if I was rude, I wasn't in Electronics, and I'd be MORE than happy to tell the manager why I had to walk over there myself. So I grabbed her game and walked back. I rang it up, and the woman that was in my lane before I left came back into my lane (Light is still very much off) and gave me an attitude. I really fucking didn't care, so I rang her up and she left. But then people started coming into my lane again. Now it was time for me to leave, so I rang people up quickly, and walked away from my lane. I left. I was about to go bitch Karen out, but I really just needed to get out of there. Moral of the story=Karen is a fucking braindead retard!

Well, I cashier on Wednesday too! Yeah! This will be so much fucking fun! I could seriously shoot myself right now! Woo Hoo! It's only for 4+ hours, but still anything and everything can go wrong in that amount of time.

P.S. The Food-Ave shit is also starting to hit the fan again. I can save the whole story for a later post.

Today Will Suck!

So 7 hours of cashiering today is definitely NOT going to be fun today. If yesterday is any indicator, the store will be packed yet again. I have no fucking idea why this town is so busy this weekend. I swear, you leave town for one night and when you come back, everything is fucked up!

I got my schedule on Thursday for the 3rd week, and I have 2 GS shifts, and 1 cashiering. (grr) And the cashiering one is on Thursday, and I close. Funny thing is, I'm not available to close on Thursdays... I haven't decided to make a big stink about it until I see how my shifts up to that date go. If they are being assholes, then I will NOT close, simple as that.

After today, I don't work until Wednesday (I think) and of course its cashiering. Then the next time I work will be Saturday, and I fucking open Guest Service. Ish! No sleeping in for me that weekend!

Ahh, well I guess I better get ready for the shit that will go wrong today. Fucking Canadians better stow the 'tude, or they will get it from me. AUGH! I FUCKING HATE CASHIERING!!!!!!!

I Survived!

It really wasn't that bad today. Yes cashiering still sucked, but I was around people I liked, so it made the day go a lot better. I also watched Guest Service a couple of times. Not a whole lot to report, although the next time I work will be on Sunday...great. Oh and it's cashiering of course, 7 fucking hours.

Well, as my other post says, I'm going to be outof town Friday, but will be back Saturday although I'm not sure if I will post anything or not. I guess we'll see when we get there.

Cashiering Tonight

Well, I don't fucking work in Guest Service until NEXT Saturday! What the fuck!? So I'll enjoy cashiering until then. (Fuckin' asswipes) And I open that Saturday, which will suck even more. But I am going to be off this Friday and Saturday to booze it up to (hopefully) erase my memories of how Target is fucking everyone up the back door. Augh! I fucking HATE cashiering, and the new schedule comes out tomorrow so I can only imagine how fucked over I'm gonna get. I'm so fucking sick of their shit!

What the fuck ever, I'll be back to tell you guys how it went. I forsee it not going good.

AUGH! I'm so frustated! Shit Fuck Hell Damn Shit Fuck Shit Fuck!

Sunday, January 23, 2005

Holy Shit!

Today really sucked! There were SO many assholes I could've sworn I was in high school again. Well, I don't have much to say but maybe some shtuff will come to me as I type.

Saturday night, cashiering:

I closed, and I helped Sara put up ad. While I was doing this she came and told me what just happened. Kim from the salesfloor came up to get her cart of Toys. She had to sit at GS and sort thru every single fucking thing. She pulls out 2 things that weren't in toys. One went Pets, and the other to Infants. All of the other returns we put away. Then, she gets on the walkie and says, "Oh I guess pets and infants do have returns because the cashier doesn't know how to sort." All this for 2 fucking things!? We could've just left them at GS for the next day being that it's 2 things. So Sara told me this and she said, "God I fucking hate her. She is such a fucking cunt," or something along those lines.

Then Krista came and got me, and told me to start zoning health and beauty. It was Nancy's department so of course she didn't do jack shit. All she fucking does is...I don't even fucking know because she has to farm out her work to everyone else. And even just today she asked the head cashiers if they had any spare cashiers that could work on her pulls. I honestly don't know where the fuck she is or what the fuck she does from the time she punches in to the time she punches out. AUGH! I fucking hate her! I don't close anytime soon thank fucking god.

Sunday, guest service:

As I said SO many assholes. We lost this woman's receipt and she went ApEsHiT. Totally fucking apeshit. She started rattling off about people she knew's problems with Target. Yeah, OK because we obviously care. We didn't actually lose the receipt either, another 'guest' took it by mistake.

Then there was this woman who argued with me about a no-receipt return. She wanted cash (NOPE), one item instead of 2 (NOPE), giftcard (NOPE), from another department (NOPE). I left before she came back.

And then there was this guy who was seriously the dumbest fuck I've ever spoken with. He wants to pay on his card, doesn't know how much so I tell him to call the number on the back of his card. I tell him to dial 9 to get out of the store, but he's too stupid and just starts dialing the number. He gives me this 'what is going on' look so I take the phone and dial the number for him. It asks for his account number, and he asked me what it was. It's the fucking number on the fucking card! So he enters that and asks where the pound sign (#) is. WHAT!? Right where you left it, under the 9! It then asks for his zip code, and this guy didn't know what a zip code was. By now, I'm amazed this guy is even standing up before he forgets. He just tells me an amount and I put it on his card for him. If you don't know how to work a phone, don't know what your account number is, don't know where the pound sign is, and don't know your zip code, maybe you shouldn't have a fucking credit card. And by no means was this guy mentally retarded from what I could tell, although that could've explained it.

The End: (of this post, not the blog stupid!)

So I realize that by putting names into this blog, that is makes me stick out like a sore thumb, but you know what? I really don't care. I'm not getting what I even close to want with this place, so firing me would be doing me a favor. I'm getting one shitty shift a week in GS, my favorite place under the T, and the rest cashiering. And as you all know (both of my readers, LOL more like none) I absolutely hate cashiering with a passion. It is the most fucking boring thing I could do. I would rather sit at home and not get paid than to do cashiering. Fuck! And then with all the new people in GS, even less hours up there for me. I absolutely LOVE being at GS, and that's why they don't put me up there. Target doesn't care about you, they care about the numbers, how fast you are, how many Target cards you have got, but it all rolls into how much money you can make them while they pay you shit. My store pulled in almost $250,000 in ONE DAY, and how much did I get? About $50. And I had to put up with the extra guests/shit that day, and still got paid normal crappy wages. This, while the execs got bonuses. Yeah, complete and utter bullshit. What the fuck ever, I'll enjoy my cashiering for the time being, and say goodbye to GS to which they are slowly take me away from. I'll tell you one thing, if they EVER take me out of GS for more than a one week period, I'm quitting plain and simple.

P.S. Would you like to save 10% today if you're approved for the Target Visa? (LOL)

GS Employees

I just read through all of my posts in this blog, and I decided to list everyone that works in GS so when I check back from the future I can see who is still there and who has left.

Well here goes:
Me
Heidi
Sara
Jesse
Tony
Pam
Phyllis
Deb
Amanda
Mary (microwave)
Angela (dumbass)
Christa
Amber
Donna
Kari
Melissa
Laura
Becky

and the head cashiers:
Krista
Maggie
Sharon
Karen (B-Squad)
Renae (B-Squad)

I think that's it for now, but I'll add more later when I think of them

Tonight

Well, as some of you already know, I work 7-close CASHIERING tonight on lane 29. FUCK! Lane fucking 29? Just my luck I'll be the first lane open on the green side. I really don't have the patience to put up with bullshit, be it from guests or TMs. But 7-close? That's technically 3 hours. Who in there right mind schedules someone for 3 fucking hours!? But we will probably be there until midnight because my store is fucked up like that. I hope to God I get to do something else, but I probably won't get to. I haven't even gotten my schedule for the 3rd week yet. I guess I really don't care. I seriously hate walking into that store everyday. I feel like punching someone.

Tomorrow I'm in Guest Service, so that will be better. But now I get the shittiest shifts over there. Everyone else gets long shifts, and here I am with my 4 or 5 hours. Augh! That really pisses me off! I would absolutely shit my pants if I never had to cashier again. I'm not looking forward to getting my schedule because I'll probably have 5 billion cashier shifts while the dumbest shits in GS get all of the hours. I don't fucking understand why they keep the dumb ones up there, and not me. I've always been told I'm doing a good job up there so what gives?

Holy shit, tonight is gonna suck some major ass!

Power Out!

The power went out in our store yesterday. I wasn't working, but I went in with a friend to get a few things. Isn't that sad? Well, anyway the generator didn't even come on, so there was about 20 lights on in the whole damn store. Only the 2 tills in electronics were working so there was SHITLOADS of people over there trying to get rung up. Hah! That looked fun...not so much. We stood by Guest Service, and a lady walked up and wanted to return something and they told her they couldn't because the power was out and the lady got pissy! Yeah, they cut the power right when you walked in the door. Jesus Christ! They finally got one lane back on, and the line was LONG for that too. I don't know why it was so busy at 3-4 in the afternoon.

Yes, I'm still dreading cashiering on Saturday. 7-close. Holy. Shit. I work GS the next day, and that week I have a whopping 10 hours! Can't wait to pay bills with that! Ah shit! I wanna quit, but then I don't.

Hmm... I get really bored, and don't know what to say on here when I don't work.

I appreciate the comments! Anyone who reads this should LEAVE A COMMENT! Bookmark this site, I'd love to have a little cult following. Well, have a SUPER day! And remember, SuperTarget SuperSucks! Haha!

Two Guests

I had this woman come up with an open DVD, and she said she wanted to return it. I tell her since it's open she could only get the same exact DVD. She said, "So if I go get it and exchange that one, can I return the unopened one?" I tell her no, and that I'd have to open her new one as well. She got angry and stormed off saying, "I guess I'll exchange it then!" She comes back, throws the DVD on the counter, so I do the return and then I start opening the new DVD. I tell her since she bropught that one in open, I have to open the new one. She says, "This is why I don't shop at Target!" I wasn't about to have an arguement saying it was a LAW, not just Target's policy, but I could care less if she ever set foot in a Target again. So I finish out the return, hand her the bag, she rips it from my hand, and I say, "Have a nice day!"

Then there was this woman playing GS to see how dumb we were. She wanted to return a "king size quilt" that was in this small bag. So the 3 GSTMs are all examining it, and we take it out, and it's a chair cover! I type in the DPCI into price inquiry and it said the quilt should be burgundy, and the chair cover was blue and green. So we tell her that this wasn't the receipt, and she said, "Well, that's the one my friend gave me." We tell her she needs to find the actual receipt before she can return it, and she left. The quilt was supposed to be 49.99 and her chair cover looked way less than that. Sorry, we aren't stupid! We told AP about her, and they are going to watch out for her because I think she will try the same thing again on a different TM.

Fucking retards! I don't work until Saturday! Woo Hoo! But it's fucking cashiering...just fucking great.

Keepin' It Short

Well, the weekend is over and thank fucking god, what a rollercoaster ride! I'll tell more about the asswipe guests some other time. There's a lot of them!

I'll be back...

Jesus Fucking Christ

Today really fucking sucked! I cashiered for 7.5 hours. God damn I was sick of it after 20 minutes. And it wasn't busy so the night seemed SO much longer. Holy shit!

Well, anyway guests were just that guests, when don't they suck? But I didn't have anyone too bad. I was not in the mood. Well Krista walked by as I was putting away some chips and she said, "You can't be eating at the lanes." She was joking of course, so I jokingly said back, "The only thing I need is lots of pills." Then she came over later and I was bitching about cashiering and she was saying that I was in GS a lot, and so cashiering once in a while isn't bad. But, YES IT IS. I seriously cannot stand it. I hate just standing in one fucking place ringing shit through, and saying the exact things over and over again. I can only say, "Hi, did you find everything alright?" "The total is..." and "Thank you and have an nice day." FUCK! I can't stand cashiering!

And then you have Angela working in Guest Service. She was just fucking standing there all night long! Holy Fuckamoly! From what I saw, it didn't look like she even started to close down GS. And this was at 9:30! I'm usually done with major stuff and just waiting for the store to close, but no she was just fucking standing there.

I have tomorrow off, but work Fri-Sat-Sun. Christ! Tomorrow better be fucking NICE!

Monday, January 10, 2005

Hmm...

So I took Becky's shift on Saturday. It really sucked. Everything was going wrong because of what people told guests over the phone. And this little kid came back and said he stole this pack of Yu-Gi-Oh Cards. The mom paid fo rthem and they left. If I knew she didn't want them, I could've just defected them out, but I thought she wanted them, oh well.

I don't work until Wednesday and I'm cashiering. :( Yeah, I'm going to have a fucking blast.

I dunno anything else to say, so live with it. Haha! I'll be back.

Not fun

So today I worked with Angela AGAIN! Jesus Fucking Christ. She once again just stood there, and when she did decide to do something, she took FOREVER and a day to do it. She did some defectives wrong, she gave cash back when she wasn't supposed to, who the fuck trained her in!? My god, I think she's moving to the bakery so I HOPE she doesn't EVER work in GS again.

There was this psycho lady who came to return something today, and she had an obsession with my name. She just HAD to say it at the end of every fucking sentence, and it really creeped me out.

People have attitudes again because everyone is pissy when it comes to returns. But, most are not so pissy that they are funny, so it's really not that fun. It's only funny when people make complete asses of themselves.

Oh I forgot to tell you guys (aka myself) there were these drunk Canadian guys that pissed all over the carpet in the Mens/Boys department. And their excuse was that they had to go. Yeah, ok. So, they got arrested and can't leave the country for a while. Haha! I always knew Canadians were stupid.

Renae (half the B-Squad, for my loyal followers) closed BY HERSELF tonight. I believe Ripley's Believe It or Not came to commemorate the occasion. She was actually nice, but didn't respond to back-ups go figure. She let me leave when I was done with GS at 10:15 when everyone else was still working. Haha! Take that Target!

So, today I had this head of lettuce and ground beef at the service desk. This shit needs to be kept cold, so I called grocery to come get it. A grocery guy comes up and asked if that was it, and I said yes. He grabbed and said that neither of those items were grocery in a rude ass tone. I was about to yell fuck you, but decided against it. I *guess* I was supposed to call produce for the lettuce and meat for the ground beef. Yeah, ok. The grocery guys are so fucking incompetent, would it really hurt them to put away 2 fucking things? No it wouldn't. If I did stay to help close, I wouldn't have helped grocery. Why? All they do is stand around all day and pick their asses while waiting for close so that everyone else can do their job for them. Fuck them!

I was one of the people that have been there the longest out of Level 1s today. CrEePy! First was Sara, then Heidi, then me, and I've only been there for over 2 years. The cashiers were all brand spanking new. That just goes to show the HIGH turnover rate at the hellhole some call Target.

So, I really am not looking forward to working Saturday, but hey it's only 5 hours, and I have no life, so let's make some money. Angela isn't working Saturday, believe me I already checked.

As you can probably tell, this post was rather long, unorganized, and maybe a little kooky at times, but look at what time I wrote this bitch. Yeah, chew on that.

Yesterday and Tomorrow

Yesterday sucked ass! I had to work with braindead Angela. She is SO FUCKING IRRITATING! My god, when there was no guests to help, she just fucking stands there! She could've done the cart of defectives we had, emptied garbages, done payments, brought back defectives, etc. But no she just fucking stands there leaving ME to do everything. Fuck fuck fuck! And Donna AND Renae were both in GS before me and Anglea, and did they do the cart of defectives? Of course not! What the fuck!? Why do I ALWAYS work after the braindead dolts in our store?

Tomorrow I have the same shift, and who do I work with again? Angela! AUGH! Fucking A, I will bitch her out if she is just going to stand there. Krista and Donna will be up there before me, and thank god Krista is leaving when I get there. I don't wanna deal with her shit.

I picked up a Guest Service shift on Saturday, so I hope that goes well.

Until next time...

And as a sidenote, I spent $449 on books this semester. Yeah, Holy Fuck!

Tuesday, January 04, 2005

Ugh!

Well, I go back to work today after almost a week off. Jesus Christ I don't want to go back at all. I close Guest Service and I really don't want to work with a newer person. I really don't want to close because we are always there late and it's bullshit. I seriously fucking hate that store!

Most of this anger is from how they are treating the Food Ave team. Judy is leaving because of surgery, and Jeannie aka Jabba the Hut is replacing her. ALL of the TMs back there are at their quitting point. Everyone keeps yelling at them no matter what they do, they always find something to bitch them out for. Ugh! I don't even work over there and I'm pissed.

Ah Fuck, the shit is only just beginning to hit the fan, and it going to be a total fucking mess.
I'll be back after this shit filled day.
